Today we're going to finish up our discussion of Bayesian inference by showing you how we can it be used for continuous data sets and be applied both in science and everyday life. From A/B testing of websites and getting a better...

“Math Solves Everyday Problems” gives examples of day-to-day problems that require math skills to solve.

Paul Erdos, the wandering Hungarian mathematical genuis, would travel from university campus to university campus collaborating in mathematical papers with colleagues all around the world. This created a network of connections that...

Simple mathematics is all around us in our everyday lives. In the case of codes, the simple pure mathematics behind it is fascinating and surprising. In this extract from his lecture on 'Codebreaking in Everyday Life', John D. Barrow,...

We meet mathematical codes at every part of our everyday lives - in our mobile phones, on the sides of books, on our credit cards, in barcodes - but what is the maths that underlies all of these? In this extract from his lecture on...

What is the mathematical secret behind the barcodes we find on our books? How does it self-check for mistakes? In this extract from his lecture on 'Codebreaking in Everyday Life', John D. Barrow, Gresham Professor of Geometry and...

How is a simple mathematical code used to ensure that mistakes are avoided with names? What is the maths behind computer systems being able to account for variant spellings such as 'Smith' and Smyth'? In this extract from his lecture on...

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which a given number is the addition of the two numbers before it. So, if you start with 0, the next number will be 1, followed by 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 and so on. As you can...

The word "theory" has very different meanings depending on whether you are speaking in an everyday sense or in scientific language. Cosmologist Paul Davies explains this difference and defends his "faith" in the underlying mathematical...

Mr. Brian McLogan wanted to become a math teacher because he knew he could make a difference in others lives. He set out after high school change the way that math education is taught, received and viewed. He believes that every child in...

Welcome to Crash Course Statistics! In this series we're going to take a look at the important role statistics play in our everyday lives, because statistics are everywhere! Statistics help us better understand the world and make...

Today we're going to discuss the Binomial Distribution and a special case of this distribution known as a Bernoulli Distribution. The formulas that define these distributions provide us with shortcuts for calculating the probabilities of...

Today we’re going to talk about confidence intervals. Confidence intervals allow us to quantify our uncertainty, by allowing us to define a range of values for our predictions and assigning a likelihood that something falls within that...

E8 Lie group and E8 Lattice has sometimes been called the most beautiful mathematical structure in the world. Is it the theory of everything or the true nature of reality? It even has an entire research...

This video provides an introduction to the concept of functions in mathematics. The lecturer compares functions to machines that take an input, apply a specific rule or operation, and give an output. The video also provides examples of...

In this video, a teacher explains the importance of mathematics in our everyday lives and introduces the concept of algebra. The teacher explains the difference between arithmetic and algebra, and provides examples of algebraic...

In this math lesson, students learn how to translate everyday phrases into mathematical expressions. By understanding key words and their meanings, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, students can confidently...

Math can be fun when you play with the rules, use it to do everyday things like fast math for calculating tips, and do some math magic tricks! Plus, math is the language of physics. Check out these 5 fun math tricks with Alex from...

Real World Science: Force is one of a series of videos that encourages children to explore the world of science in their immediate surroundings. Through observation and experimentation, students will learn properties of forces, Newton's...

People measure all types of things everyday: distances walked, sizes of clothing, quantities of food and time for cooking.



In this activity, children aged 3-7 will trace their feet and cut them out to use as non-standard...

STEAM Teams include scientists, tech experts, engineers, artists and mathematicians who solve real-world problems, knowing there is always more than one right answer. In this video, children modify everyday objects that could be used in...

This video provides a clear and concise explanation of percents and how they are used in real-life situations such as shopping and tipping at a restaurant. It breaks down the concept of percents as parts of a whole, specifically one part...

This video serves as an educational introduction to understanding and working with decimals. It explains the concept of decimals as numbers less than one, separated from whole numbers by a decimal point. The video also covers the...
